Ivan Smagghe

Along with the likes of occasional partner-in-crime Andrew Weatherall, Ivan has the ability to play music like a raw conduit between his famously obscure records and the dancefloor's strobe-soaked bodies, injecting something of himself seamlessly into the mix along the way.

Long term Subbie favourite and Maitre D of Parisian house Ivan Smagghe checks in to kick it off for June and start our party right at Subculture this Saturday. Chatting to Ivan over the years in hotel bars or during car journeys to and from airports, here at the Subbie we’re clued up on his love for movies.

Ivan Smagghe and Andrew Weatherall were asked to select the last 5 tracks they'd play in an "End of the World mix", in light of the ominous premonitions on 21st May. The result is a eerie, sombre and surprisingly 80s mixtape highlighting the pair's eccentric and ever-unexpected track selections.

Ahead of his Room One performance, where he’ll be playing alongside Craig Richards, Redshape and Pierre LX, Ivan has given fabric an electro rave romp for you to download exclusively. Its the first from a series of edits he’s been releasing on his blog A Few Things From Ivan Smagghe.

The pair get stuck into an hour's worth of rugged house and techno with that inevitable indie undercurrent, recorded live at Paris' Social Club back in January and broadcast as Get The Curse's 100th podcast.
